You mean the winningest Coach we have at the moment...that John Hedlund?  And, it is his off season...well, the end of it anyway, so Wren did wait until the end of the season to evaluate Coach Hedlund

What really SUCKS is the highlight of this basketball season is the firing of Benford. You think it is tough on us can you imagine being a player? Thanks to them for their effort!

I'd wait until after the game to answer this. We win tonight and it's, at the most, 25%. Likely 0%. We lose and it's maybe up to 50%, realistically.

I think we should watch objectively without thinking about him being fired today. Whether he deserves it or not.

i seriously hope not... Rice is a really crappy basketball team

Yes, but the writing was on the wall after the four game win streak. If we were on a eleven game losing stretch, Benford would have some heat on him. Now? Not much at all.

If we had been blown out by Rice today, I's say 25%-30% chance he'd be gone. Since the game is tied with Rice getting the final shot, I say there is at most a 10% chance.

Basically, Benny will be here next year, unless he steps down.

Now we are going to OT, so yeah, get ready for year 3.

Said it before and I'll say it again. If this thing goes in the crapper next year, RV should be fired. He won't, because he has a lifetime gig at UNT, but he should be.

The more I look at things objectively, RV really should be on the hot seat. And that's being favorable to him.

Between Benford, Peterson, and even football with the way he has handled OOC scheduling. By bringing Benford back and allowing him to handle this next signing class of 7 spots, RV should be tying himself to Benford and the men's program. If Benford messes up this signing class, with the last couple JJ signees leaving after next year, the program will be completely on RV and Benny. If that ends in disaster they should both be fired. I'm terrified at the idea of RV hiring our first manager for baseball.

It seems like he does OK with the "non-revenue" sports, so there is hope.

Don't worry about it. RV will call someone to ask them to consult on the baseball hire...that person will say "hey, I coach and I have a binder. Voila, new coach.

Exactly. Not to mention, the baseball hire will only be able to make RV look good. If it isn't a good hire, hey, we're only losing because we're a startup. Give it some time. If we're doing good, it'll be "look how good we're doing, only in our 'X' season!"

Another "90 feet of heat", you think?

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
